With the rise of the Omicron variant, Moderna said it wants to \u201cavoid any distractions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moderna first shared the news with the National Institutes of Health at their Dec. 10 meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cModerna believes that its scientists invented the specific mRNA sequence at the heart of the patent in question,\u201d said the company in a statement. \u201cThe company acknowledges that NIH feels equally strongly that its scientists should be listed as co-inventors for their contemporaneous work on the protein sequence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Previously this year, the sequence was given the green light by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. No reason for the pause has been given, but Moderna said discussions will continue in the future.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NIH weighs in on Moderna halting patent fight, via statement below. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SVUqT4Ni9l\">pic.twitter.com\/SVUqT4Ni9l<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dan Diamond (@ddiamond) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ddiamond\/status\/1472364062633873415?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 19, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/taliban-officials-plead-for-international-help-with-afghanistan-migrant-crisis\/\">Taliban Officials Plead For International Help With Afghanistan Migrant Crisis<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Empty bottles of Moderna Covid-19 vaccine are pictured in a vaccination center in Garlan, western France, on December 13, 2021.
